Our stories

We had a lovely Valentine's Day here at The Moors, with residents drawing hearts, making cards and having a lovely lunch with the tables decorated beautifully. Our favourite activity was passing round the balloon and whoever caught it shouted out something they loved.

What a beautiful morning in Manorhey garden, looking for our furry friends the squirrels for their daily morning visit. Spring is almost definitely on its way. 

We at Highfield enjoyed Valentine’s Day with lovely music, karaoke, dance, and a little tea party with variety of Valentine cupcakes. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and can’t wait for our next celebrations.

Happy times at Hope Green as our residents have regular Skype calls with their loved ones. This ladies was extra special as it was Valentine's Day. 

The first of our daffodils almost completed and ready to make a daffodil field. 

Today at Bowerfield House we recognised Ash Wednesday, the first day of lent. As we were unable to attend Mass in person we watched in live online instead.

The residents enjoyed making pizzas today but they enjoyed eating them more!

We are double celebrating pancake day at Abingdon Court this year!  The people living in the home got an early treat with the activities team who went around with their amazing pancake trolley full with a choice of toppings and it went down a treat.

We all love a bit of Bingo here at Abingdon court and we have found one that has a little twist.  The bingo we found uses images as well as description which is more engaging for all.

Happy Birthday Pam! 

Our wonderful Kitchen Assistant Lisa loves making cakes for the residents birthday. 

We had a lovely pancake day at the home.  Staff and residents enjoyed lots of lovely toppings and the residents even had a turn at tossing their own pancakes.  We had such fun.

The residents enjoyed last week, plenty of different kinds of activities to celebrate St. Valentine's Day.

We celebrated Valentine's Day with with chocolates, wine and beautiful flowers. 

Bowerfield House would like to say a heartfelt 'Thank You' to Down To Earth, a florist in High Lane. Our residents and staff absolutely loved the beautiful roses that were sent to us on Valentine's Day. Thank you for thinking of us and brightening our day. 

Residents are enjoying the return of tai chi with Morag from health and wellness via zoom.  We so missed our Tai Chi during lockdown that we were delighted when Morag was able to do this via Zoom.  Everyone had a fantastic time and were so happy to see Morag again.

We have welcomed a new member of the team to our Oakland’s family, Mickey Sewell has been a chef in the Army for twenty five years before joining us at Oakland's.

We enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year at the home in February and our chefs put together a special menu including sweet n sour pork and stir fry chicken.  The food was delicious as always and the residents thoroughly enjoyed it.

This month we have been celebrating different cultures. We have gathered facts, quizzes, games and art ideas for the residents. This is so they can discuss, reminisce and think about different cultures.

Both residents helped with our Valentines Celebrations, we decorated some vases and re-arranged our table decorations with some new red roses.

We were honoured to have been sent valentine teddies from children of Sutton Cum Lound school, all with lovely messages on the back for our residents to enjoy. 

Singing activities are always a popular request here, and one of our sessions involve a John McSweeney concert with on screen lyrics, advertised as 101 songs you know by heart, a great sing-a-long disc.
